A new version of the Rediska library has been released today, version 0.2.1. Rediska is a PHP client for Redia, a key/value database system (written in C) that's similar to memcache.
It can be used like memcached, in front of a traditional database, or on its own thanks to the fact that the in-memory datasets are not volatile but instead persisted on disk. One of the cool features is that you can store not only strings, but lists and sets supporting atomic operations to push/pop elements.
The library includes multiple server support, content hashing, keys as objects and full Zend Framework integration. You can find out more about the project on its site or just download the latest version.

The Symfony blog has a new post with links to some books to help you work with the latest version of the framework - Symfony 1.3/1.4.
The symfony 1.3 and 1.4 final releases are just around the corner, and will probably be published next Monday. As you might have noticed, the symfony documentation have also been updated to take into account the changes made in those two new versions.
They mention the books "Getting Started with Symfony 1.3 & 1.4", the "Symfony 1.3 & 1.4 Reference Guide" and "Practical symfony 1.3 & 1.4". You can either read the contents of them online or you can order them directly from Amazon as a published book.

Giorgio Sironi has a new post talking about his upcoming eBook for all of those interesting in testing PHP applications - "Practical PHP Testing (Don't Let Your PHP be Eaten Alive)".
This publication focuses on testing and designing php code, with the aid of the leading tool for test automation, PHPUnit. Testing is a skill which is often neglected by php developers, but testable code inherit many benefits of the good design rules it is forced to observe.
The book will include the content of his testing series of posts, code examples, a glossary of commonly used terms and several Test-Driven Development exercises in each chapter. He looking to have it published during the beginning of December and will be released under a Creative Commons license. Here's a sneak peek at the cover.

Adam Jensen has written up a quick tutorial about using Doctrine record listeners to link a Zend_Acl component with your database.
In previous Zend Framework apps I've written, I often handled access control at the level of the controller action. Each action was represented in the ACL as a resource, and the ACL logic was applied by a custom plugin just prior to any action dispatch. [...] As a result of these concerns, I decided on a lower-level, model-centric approach for this blog: my models are my resources. Each model class implements Zend_Acl_Resource_Interface, and the ACL specifies "create," "read," "update" and "destroy" privileges for each class (more or less).
Checking for the permissions with a setup like this can be time consuming, though, so he found an ally in the record listeners Doctrine allows you to set. He combines a Doctrine_Record_Listener object with a Zend_Acl one in a preInsert method with a getCurrentRole to add the user handling all in one place.

On the IBuildings techPortal today there's a new podcast posted in the Dutch PHP Conference series - David Soria Parra's talk on analyzing web applications with Dtrace.
DTrace is the Swiss army knife to analyze the behavior of applications and enabling you to gather detailed information from the bottom of your application stack up to the top. DTrace is used by system administrators and developers, on Solaris, Mac OSX and FreeBSD, to do in-depth analysis of an application, to find and reduce performance bottlenecks and problems in productive system. The talk will give an introduction how to use DTrace's capabilities in web development, reflect the current state of DTrace support in PHP and show examples how to trace PHP script in production.

I just this morning pushed a new version of Zend DevZone, and the biggest change was a move to Zend Framework version 1.9.5 – Why is this important? Because it was previously running v1.0.1 ( gasp ), and I wanted to tell the story of the work it took to upgrade.

The Zend Framework 1.9 release added a new feature - Zend_Rest_Controller. Zend_Rest_Controller and Zend_Rest_Route classes go hand in hand. In the previous versions of the Zend Framework, we have had the Zend_Rest_Server component. We still have. Since Zend_Rest_Server provides an RPC like component violating the REST architectural constraint, it is likely to be deprecated in the future versions of the Zend Framework.

This upcoming Thursday and Friday, 19-20 November 2009, Zend Framework will
host its third monthly bug hunt. For those of you unfamiliar with the event,
each month, we organize the community to help reduce the number of open
issues reported against the framework. Past events have netted around 100
issue closures over each two-day period -- and we want to continue the
momentum.

Joey Rivera has written a tutorial that explains what caching means, why it’s important to use, and demonstrate a few different examples. Even though Zend_Cache is being used, the examples are not implementing the Zend Framework so users not familiar with the framework can still follow. The examples will cover how to cache a variable, a recordset from a database query, and an entire page. It briefly mentions the different caching backends but focuses only of the ‘File’ backend.
